I think the headline is unfortunate. Haley is willing to say any word salad people will accept and is not known for her ethics. Based on what we know, she will be an America First isolationist willing to sell out to dark money, far right nationalists. Neither Haley nor Trump can be counted on for good policy. Americans and Allies should be skeptical of anything either says on the campaign trail.
Hi Dan I followed her as UN amb and she was a bit of a fish out of water with the Trump crowd. I would agree with you on the tendency for word salads - but I really don’t see her as an isolationist. I think the realities of governing would result in a pretty traditional conservative foreign policy. It’s kind of moot given the way things are shaping up
As a European - (alas living in the UK - a nation who has no idea who they are) - we are not so in touch with the details and consequences of US politics. But overall Trump (and to a lesser extend JFKjr) seems the president of peace. Europeans have a snobby, irrational attitude towards Trump, but in our hearts, we know bitterly, the consequences of actual war (as opposed to the ‘war on drugs’ or ‘war on disinformation’ etc .. ) America’s unique and safe geography makes war more of a concept that’s difficult to understand. In Europe we feel it. Europe, the world needs a leader in the US that stops exacerbating wars and with an attitude like Trump - who when asked what would his solution to xyz war have been - said “they wouldn’t have happened in the first place” and we know that is true. After all who cares about the details if ultimately there’s no countries left. Ukraine has been destroyed, the young killed. Palestine is just rubble. The Middle East a place few truly understand, but that that’s the danger. We need someone who doesn’t let wars happen, who wants to end them - even if he’s a crazy orange man. He wants peace. We all need peace.
Fionain -I am not sure it's that Trump is a peacemaker or that he is so unpredictable that leaders don't want to provoke him - i.e. the "madman theory." Regardless, you some interesting points. Thanks for weighing in!.
The questions here are important. Unfortunately, few MAGAs can see beyond their self-interest to understand or accept the answers. He’s a threat, and I guess that makes them happy.
